Chaos Crystal is an artifact in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that has the ability to “Chaos Mark” creatures. To use this ability, you must first charge the crystal (it charges when the hero takes damage). The Chaos Mark can create random effects on the chosen location, such as igniting the area or releasing a gas cloud, etc. If identified, you can fix the number of charges (up to 100 maximum). If fully identified, you can fuse it with an item (requires at least 50 charges).

The Chaos Crystal is a strange and powerful artifact that channels chaotic energies. It can be worn like a ring and has two main abilities: the Chaos Mark and item fusion. The crystal charges when the hero takes damage, making it a high-risk, high-reward item.

How to effectively use the Chaos Crystal:

• Charge the crystal by taking damage strategically (e.g., using armor with damage transfer)
• Use the chaos mark ability to create beneficial effects in combat
• Fuse with high-level items for the best chaos-themed replacements
• Be careful when cursed - the chaos mark will target you instead of desired location
• Random glowing effect makes it visually distinctive in inventory
